Missing Americans Garrett Hand, Jamie Neal found alive and well in Peru (UPDATE)

Garrett Hand and Jamie Neal left California for Peru in November but lost contact on January 25. The pair had been cycling across South America and posting status updates and photos on Facebook.

Missing Americans Jamie Neal and Garrett Hand have reportedly been found alive and well in a remote area of Peru.

"The American tourists are continuing to enjoy their trip in the Peruvian Amazon," Peru's tourism ministry said in a statement Tuesday, adding that Hand and Neal were safely traveling by riverboat north to the border with Ecuador, Reuters reports.

The Pedaler Bike Shop where Neal worked confirmed in an email to GlobalPost that the couple had been found.
